Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.26.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/epiphany
Menu Edit / Preferences / General.
I have "Automatically download and open files" set. The download folder is set
to "File System", which seems to be a weird unusual name for the root folder.
1) That's a very bad default, for the obvious reason that most users don't have
write permissions there. I'd suggest $HOME, $HOME/Desktop, $HOME/downloads
or something like that.
2) It cannot be changed. If I select another folder there and click "Close",
when I go back to that dialog, it is back to "File System"
End result is that I get files named e.g. "OLLFR9Gk.part" in /tmp/ and I have
to fish the downloaded file from there.
